Aaaaahh, silly me. Now I understand :-)

Now, for the original problem... Uhm. Tricky. any better ideas?

jless() {
   typeset -x -A tmpstates
   for i in $jobstates[(I)*] 
   do
      tmpstates[$i]=$jobstates[$i]
   done
   for i in $tmpstates[(I)*]
   do
      echo "[$i]\t$tmpstates[$i]"
   done  | sort -n |  less
   unset tmpstates
}

Ciao,
Thomas
